Gamma Phi Beta in the days to come Will prove that fundamentals can endure. Therefore we shall embody in our lives The truths that make for finer womanhood.

Once more we pledged a loyahy that means Adherence to all true and noble things; A learning that enriches all our days With magic gold that is forever ours ; A labor that each hour will glorify The simple, common task, the common cause; A love that will be strong and great enough To compass and to pity all the world.

Arizona State ^e

State College is located in the City of Tempe in ARIZONA. the heart of the Salt River Valley and nine miles from metropolitan Phoenix, the state capital, and one of the fastest growing areas in the nation. The college has an ideal location and climate. Only in the West can the classic American combina tion of informality and civilization still be found. In Arizona- above all, the district around Tempe-there is the additional blessing of the nation's most perfect climate. Cloudless skies and bright, constant sunshine permit much of the college activity to be conducted outdoors. There is virtually no snow, rain is seldom, and high winds are infrequent. There are 120 acres in the college grounds, of which 85 com prise the campus proper. Arranged in a most attractive setting with broad shady lawns, the campus provides a profusion of trees, trees and other southwestern orange palm flora, typical First place winners in the Intersorority sing were these beaming shrubs, and gaily blooming flowers.

45th Gamma Phi Beta Convention at Coronado in June THEof 1952 approved the recommendation for the establishment of a Philanthropy Board to coordinate and direct all service programs of the Sorority including our two camps, Vancouver and Colorado. Since the by-law amendments establishing such a board will soon be in the hands of the chapters for vote, it seemed appropriate at this time to offer an explanation of the needs for this board. At the present time, our two camps are under the direction of two local camp boards, who serve under the guidance of Mrs. Dippell our International Camp Chairman, who in turn works under the Grand Council. While the camps were in the main purchased by international funds, and are operated largely by international Crescent Board, which has worked so successfully for many years. to the funds, ownership of the camps is held by the local camp boards.

8 Grand Council Appointments

It is with deep regret that Grand Council accepts the resigna tion of Minnie Mae Hudnall Baldwin, elected to the office of International Vice-President and Alumnae Secretary at the 1952 convention. Florence Hawkins Martin has been appointed by Grand Council to fill the vacancy.

Florence Hawkins Martin=Internal Vice-President And Almmnae Secretary Hawkins Martin (UCLA) has time and again proved her worth to FLORENCEGamma Phi Beta, which she has served faithfully and in many capacities since her graduation from college. Most recently she served as chairman of the Coronado convention, shouldering the great responsibilities of that position with ease and charm. As a member of the Pasadena Alumnae chapter, Florence has served as president, and during that time worked with Beta Alpha chapter at Southern California. She is a member of their corporation board and is on the advisory committee. A graduate of Southern California School of Physical Therapy, she served on the staff of Pasadena's Huntington Memorial Hospital for ten years. During this time she married her childhood sweetheart. Dr. Hoyt Martin. The Martins have two lovely daughters, Kristin 12 and Gretchen, ten. It follows naturally that Florence has devoted an abundant share of her energy to Camp Fire Girls and Blue Birds, having served as a council member and vice-president of that organization. Atop a hill in South Pasadena, the Martin house and garden create another hobby for Florence. She specializes in growing rare camellia bushes, planted each year on her birthday in late December. Creative design and dressmaking is another hobby, which finds its practical application when Florence sews for her girls and herself. Dr. Martin, although a busy physician and a major on the California Defense and Security Corps, is ever faithful to Gamma Phi Beta and ready to help in any way. Having seen Florence manage the 1952 convention in a most business-like fashion, he, along with her many friends, feels she will do an equally fine job with the office Vice President. Mrs. Martin of International J) ]) ]) Mary Bromm=Traveling Secretary THIS time Mary Bromm's name is familiar to many of you as Gamma Phi Beta's BYnew Traveling Secretary.

For two seasons, during her Junior and Senior years at Michigan State College she served as rushing chairman for Beta Delta, seasons in which we filled our quota with excellent girls. Aside from her experience in rushing, Mary has much more to offer in activities and talent. As a speech major, she took part in radio shows and campus stage pro ductions. She was a member of Theta .Alpha Phi, Studio Theatre and Speech Majors' and Water Carnival. . . on for club . and worked committees J-Hop, Spartacade Her ballet dancing has been a highlight of more than one of Beta Delta's rushing parties, and her comic impersonations are a delight to behold.

1 1 Alumnae Chapters Stage Country Style Auctions that city folks have a hankering for country style SEEMSaffairs! At least, alumnae from Sacramento Valley and Evanston-North Shore found that to be true when recently they staged a couple of fund-raising functions. The Sacramento Gamma Phi Betas held their second annual "Box Lunch Social" in the hangar of the Sacramento Sky Ranch, owned by Joyce Rowe Schwaner and her husband. Jeans and Ginghams were standard attire and the hangar was decorated with scarecrows and bales of hay. A professional folk dance couple instructed the guests in some simple folk dance routines and the evening was climaxed with the auctioning of elaborately decorated box lunches, some so beautiful that they sold for as high as $5.00. General chairman for the party was Dorothy Myll Parker, assisted by Ruth Jones Foster, Lou Erickson Fiddyment, Patty Brennan Smith, Patricia Smith Lentz and B. J. Binney Jordan. An Old Fashioned Country Auction held by the Evanston- North Shore Alumnae of Gamma Phi Beta on Saturday, Sep tember 13th, was an unusual experiment, very exciting and, best of all, a success. The sale began at one p.m. in Chandler Park at the corner of Ridge and Lincoln Streets in Evanston and continued until the auctioneers accepted the highest bid from the last customer. Eager bargain hunters came through the gates where they found antiques, pictures, furniture, glassware, draperies, jewelry, toys, books, and bric-a-brac.

is over. Gamma Phi Beta Camp at Sechelt is closed, SUMMERand forty-three little girls in Vancouver have gone back to school�a little sturdier, a little happier, more relaxed, and with a new sparkle in their eyes. And all because they have had two wonderful weeks at camp as guests of Gamma Phi Beta. They arrived for each session looking tense and tired, many of, them defiant and ready to do battle at the least provocation. Then, in a few days' time, we could see them relaxing, appetites started to pick up, they found they were among friends, people who really liked them. From then on. it was pure joy from morning 'til night. Perhaps before I tell you more about the people at camp, and some of the things we did, I should tell a bit about the physical set-up. The camp is reached by car or bus, and ferry, and is about forty miles north of Vancouver, on the coast. Our property is on the waterfront, with a long stretch of pebbly beach. Some days there would be huge breakers pounding against the shore, while at other times the water was still as a mill pond. There are some gorgeous fir and cedar trees, and lovely red-barked arbutus on our property. Near the beach is some cleared ground where the girls had their badminton, volley-ball and the baseball games, ran races and did stunts and tumbling. Under the trees are the four camper cabins, two Coun:>elor> and dttcctor relax prior to camp opening.

Phi Beta's summer camp for girls at Indian Hills, GAMMAColorado, has just completed another very successful year. Sponsored in this project are girls between the ages of nine and eleven who are otherwise unable to have either a summer vaca tion or camp experience. In addition to providing the fun and thrill of summer camping, our Gamma Phi Beta Camp often accomplishes wonders in developing the personalities of shy and withdrawn little girls. An interesting example this year was Minnie, the youngest of five sisters who live with their parents in a two-room home. (They must carry all the water for home use a distance of three blocks.) The father, wanting a son, was evidently increasingly disappointed as each daughter arrived, and Minnie was much affected by his attitude. When she came to camp she would not talk at all to the counselors and the other children, but would nod an answer when asked a only question. Flag raising at the Colorado camp is an important daily ceremony, At once the other campers began encouraging her to enter their teaching the campers respect for their flag and their country. games, and soon the conversation barrier was broken.
